Protocol (Clean)

I remember the evening

You said you were leaving

That's when I knew I had lost

No room for forgiveness

Suitcase frames pictures

Placed in the back of your car

I won't tell my parents how I f**ked up perfection

And selfishly put myself first

A future of stories

Kiss you good mornings

Gone and its what I deserve

I can't find the words to say

When someone asks how you've been

I don't know the protocol

For fixing a fixing a broken heart

When my friends hear the rumours

They tell me they knew that

You were bad news from the start

Every bar they take me

To try to match make me

To someone who doesn't come close

You won't tell your mother cos shell tell your father

And that's just one more broken heart

A future of stories

Adventures and journeys

On fire and falling apart

I can't find the words to say

When someone asks how you've been

Don't know the protocol

For fixing a fixing a broken heart

Call your answer phone

Hope that you're not at home

I don't know the protocol

For fixing a fixing a broken heart

When I'm all by myself

And the drink doesn't help

Take them down from the shelf

And I'm reminded I keep fighting

Walls in my head with the miles of regret

Cos I had every letter but now

I can't find the words to say

When someone asks how you've been

Don't know the protocol

For fixing a fixing a broken heart

Call your answerphone

Hope that you're not at home

Don't know the protocol

For fixing a fixing a broken heart

Fixing a fixing a broken heart
